I don't know if there is one. I've never seen any concrete data. Especially since there are a wide variety of weapon types in Trek. There are NDE weapons (Phasers, Disruptors, etc) Thermal DET weapons, Even more exotic particle weapons (Antiproton, Tetryon, etc) Trek shields don't seem to have much problem holding up against thermal weapons, They do well against NDE weapons, and not so well against the super strange/exotic kind. That's not even bringing explosive weapons into it. Nuclear weapons are easily handled by the shields, (Hell, they're easily handled by an unshielded hull as we saw in BoT) Photon Torpedoes, Quantum orpedoes, Chroniton Torpedoes, Transphasic Torpedoes, Subspace weapons (Banned by treaty) all react against shields differently. It really is a mixed bag.
